The Australian government already supports female participation in sport and will continue to do so. For example, our Girls Make Your Move campaign specifically encourages young women to be more active through sport and physical activity. Phase 3 of the campaign was launched at the AFL Women's grand final over the weekend. While it's not the role of the Australian government to determine the pay for athletes, we support the principle of fair pay for professional players.

Question agreed to.
